So that's that settled. end of this month will be the closing date for the competition. Then we will have a vote, say, a week after? I looked into creating a pot using bounty source and their site seems to be under construction.

the only other alternative I could think of was
http://www.chipin.com/
somebody will have to set that up with their paypal account and the money seems to go there. So we still need a trusted community member to handle it if anybody wishes to volunteer.
